Sync settings

Syncing settings is transferring the edit of one photo to several others in a single action. You edit a reference photo and copy those sliders to the whole selection. It's the core of fast, consistent series work.

In Lightroom, edit your best photo from a set, then select the rest and click Sync. In the dialog you check which parts carry over: often you want to sync look and color, but keep white balance and crop per photo. For photos under changing light, sync only the creative settings and adjust exposure per image. That keeps your series consistent without making every photo identical.
